Arkletter 22
This NewMoon issue of Christine Payne-Towler's
"Tarot University ArkLetters" is online January 18, 2007, NewMoon
IN THIS ISSUE:
I. Illuminism, the Grand Orient, and Egyptian Masonry ...In the history of Tarot, there exist fuzzy periods, when it is unclear
exactly how the pack was being employed or by whom. One such period is
the time between the awakening of the Rosicrucian movement (in the
early 1600's) and the popularization of Tarot via Le Monde Primitif by
de Gebelin and the new "divinatory" pack by Etteilla (in the late
1700's). This essay will outline the main lines of Secret Society
associations that were cultivating Tarot esotericism during this time....

II. January 2007 - World Servers' Spread; a 3-Card Reading for the Now .... What happens when things fall apart? How can people get better at falling together at such times? Everybody
I know is finding themselves stopping on a dime, turned inside out,
making an unexpected detour, awakening on unexpected turf, or otherwise
flummoxed by the current cast of events. ...

III. New Moon Notes - January, 2007 ... Happy New Year, dear readers, and I hope that the turn of the year
was kind to you. I seem to be so caught up in the spirit of Capricorn
that I am moving house again, this time to a place, which I hope will
be my home for years to come. If this article seems a bit shorter than
usual, just imagine me packing and schlepping as you read this, and it
will all become clear to you ... http://noreah.typepad.com/tarot_arkletters/2007/01/new_moon_notes.html
Our publication date and time corresponds to the New Moon each month. This month the Moon is conjunct the Sun on Wednesday, Januray 18, 2007. As an astrologer-symbolist, I habitually tie my activities to the cycle of the Moon. If you would like, you can use the Tarot University ArkLetters to help you track the moon's phase:
CURRENT MOON PHASE GUIDE
Current Phase of Moon: NewMoon 28+ Capricorn, Thursday, January 18th, mid to late evening. From this moment, the moon begins to wax, or increase.
